An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 302 The Myriad Artifacts Return to Their Hidden Formation
A wise man keeps his talents hidden, waiting for the right opportunity to act.

The phrase "all weapons are stored away" literally means to hide ten thousand weapons on one's person.

And this technique, just as described, can create space within the body to integrate weapons.

However, his supernatural powers are not limited to just this!
The wonder of the "Myriad Weapons Return to the Source Technique" lies in its ability to integrate the power of weapons into the body, which is equivalent to equipping ten thousand pieces of equipment at the same time!

No, it's not just equipment. When you get hurt, all the equipment inside your body will help you share the damage. It's as if that equipment has been completely fused into your body, making it more powerful than ordinary clothing!
And this is far from the full extent of the mysteries of this technique!

What's truly terrifying is that during the cultivation process, besides fusing with other weapons and equipment, the cultivator themselves are also refined like a magical artifact! Upon reaching mastery, the cultivator's physical body becomes the most perfect magical artifact in the world! Immortal, indestructible, and invincible!
Even without using the power of the magical treasures within its body, its hardness is still enough to withstand innate gods and demons!

"Use yourself as a magical weapon and refine it to its ultimate potential!"

This is the cultivation technique that Chu Xiu has discovered so far among the six inheritances that can most directly enhance his strength!

He now possesses a considerable amount of powerful equipment and has even been able to forge three new legendary king-level items. However, with so much equipment, Chu Xiu cannot fully utilize its power; integrating it into his body would be the perfect solution.

The cultivation of this technique is divided into six steps: limbs, internal organs, viscera, spine, acupoints, and spiritual platform.
The first step is to integrate a piece of equipment into each of the four limbs!
"The equipment you integrate not only needs to adapt to your body, but also needs to be integrated with the previous equipment. The further you go, the more difficult the cultivation becomes!"

The integration of a magical artifact with a person is undoubtedly extremely difficult. Therefore, in the early stages of cultivating this technique, true integration is not required; "settling" is sufficient.

Although the power provided by the host magic item is not as strong as that provided by fusion, it has the advantage of being simple and can be removed and replaced.

Once Chu Xiu has finished cultivating his limbs and spiritual platform, he will have completed the initial stage of cultivation. Next, he will truly begin to fuse with magic weapons. The magic weapon fused with at that time will be called his natal magic weapon, which will be completely integrated with him. If he dies, the magic weapon will also shatter. If he levels up, the power of the magic weapon will also increase.

After Chu Xiu chose the cultivation method, he also arrived at the position he needed to guard.

Even from several kilometers away, he saw a large number of military transport vehicles traveling back and forth on the streets, delivering supplies.

The area guarded by Chu Xiu is a commercial district centered around a 500-meter-tall building.

This building was originally the office building of a super-large company. As a group under the protection of the Longevity King, its financial resources were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Whether it was the shield generator or the various automatic weapons installed on the building, they were all the most advanced models, and there were a huge number of them.

At the center of the building, there is an energy pillar that runs through the entire building, specifically used to power these weapons. The building structure is also engraved with a large number of reinforcing inscriptions on top-grade materials, further enhancing its strength.

Meanwhile, squads of soldiers were moving rapidly along the corridor. Chu Xiu saw a three-person team carrying a large box arrive at a floor with a wide view. One of them put down a black square iron block that was thirty centimeters long and wide. The iron block quickly deformed upon landing, forming a thick shield wall. The other two quickly assembled the weapons in the box.

Before long, a three-meter-long sniper rifle was assembled.

Rather than a gun, this thing is more like a cannon, with a 30mm caliber, a perfect mechanical structure, and air-piercing arrays drawn on the bullets to minimize the effects of air resistance. The newly developed high-explosive incendiary core can generate a powerful metal jet with a very small amount of explosive.

With the support of various advanced technologies, this heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle can achieve a muzzle velocity of 1200m/s, enabling it to penetrate 380mm of steel plate at a distance of 4,000 meters!

Through continuous iteration and upgrades, the Chinese military has developed advanced equipment that combines abyssal technology and extraordinary power, creating a qualitative gap with Aurora's forces in the Corpse Demon World. These most advanced weapons are powerful enough to injure even generals!

At the same time, these soldiers are at least awakened warriors of the rank of soldier, and those responsible for operating firearms have more or less skills that can enhance the power of firearms.

Chu Xiu flew to the rooftop, where the troops were setting up a Phalanx air defense system. Upon seeing Chu Xiu, a middle-aged man in military uniform quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Chu Xiu returned the greeting, and before the other party could speak, he asked, "How is the defense here?"

“A company of veterans and a company of three-year veterans were all equipped with advanced equipment, and there were about two hundred armed police and civilian police officers downstairs maintaining order.”

"As for the Awakened who volunteered, I didn't include them. There are roughly seven or eight hundred of them. Oh, right, there are also eleven King-level Awakened," the middle-aged officer replied.

This person speaks crisply and has a strong aura. Chu Xiu could sense from his demeanor that he must be a King-level expert with strong combat abilities.

However, Chu Xiu frowned and looked around.

The area he needs to defend is about two kilometers in radius. Such a large area, and there are only so few people to defend it.
"There are too few people," Chu Xiu said.

"There's nothing we can do," the officer said helplessly. "The city is so big, we can only allocate this many troops."

Chu Xiu did not speak. The massive Black Death Prison, spanning a hundred kilometers, would still cover at least eight thousand square kilometers, even if all the population were concentrated in the vicinity of the central urban area within fifty kilometers!
With such a large area, it's true that not many people can be allocated to it.

And crucially, many awakened individuals do not want to assume the obligation of protection; they only want to blend into the crowd and act when the opportunity arises.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Chu Xiu turned to the officer and said, "I will be in seclusion in this building from now on. Contact me immediately if you need anything."

“No problem.” The officer nodded. “We can handle ordinary attacks. You can focus on your training.”

Chu Xiu didn't say anything more. He entered the building in a flash. Then he found a suitable room, waved his hand, and the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Furnace and the Eight Desolate Netherfire Array appeared in the room.

Then, one rare material after another appeared in his hands.

[Perfect Forging], activated!

One day later.

Chu Xiu sat upright in the center of the hall, surrounded by raging flames. The core temperature was close to 10,000 degrees Celsius. If it weren't for the restraint of the formation, the entire building would probably have been burned to ashes.

Amidst the raging flames, a battle axe was gradually taking shape, emanating powerful spiritual energy.

A bead of sweat appeared on Chu Xiu's forehead. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and shouted. At the same time, the ten fire dragons of the Netherfire Array roared together, causing the temperature in the furnace to rise again!
Under the intense heat, those rare materials finally fused together completely!
"It's done!"

Chu Xiu let out a long breath, and a rare look of fatigue appeared on his face.

It should be noted that even after becoming an Awakened One, he rarely showed this expression, even during a series of major battles!
This is because it took him three days to refine three legendary general-level items.

This time, he refined three legendary king-level items in just one day!
Even with the help of blueprints, this speed was incredibly fast. Besides the fact that his talent had become stronger due to his rank advancement, Chu Xiu had been activating [Perfect Forging] almost non-stop to maximize the power of this top-tier talent in order to save time!
Fortunately, he was very satisfied with the final result.

With the help of the blueprints, all three King-rank items were perfectly forged, and were further enhanced by the Eight Desolate Netherfire Array, making them even more durable. They also possessed powerful Four Symbols Power! Each item also had an additional attribute!
Chu Xiu looked in front of him.

[Orov's Battle Axe: The axe used by the giants of the North Sea, weighing 50,000 jin (approximately 25,000 kg), possessing the power to split mountains and cleave ice. Wielding it grants an additional 2,000 strength. It is also imbued with the power of the White Tiger, further enhancing offensive capabilities.]

[The Omnipotent King's Belt: A belt forged by a king, capable of comprehensively enhancing the wearer's attributes. Crafted from the hide of a deep-sea behemoth, it contains powerful life energy capable of healing the wearer and is inlaid with forty-eight magical gems, providing a defensive shield. It also carries the power of the Black Tortoise, increasing the total shield strength.]

[Golden Scale Armor: Made from a single golden dragon scale, it fits perfectly to the skin as an inner lining. Impact is transmitted throughout the body via the scales, providing extremely high magic resistance and moderate mental resistance. It is imbued with the power of the Azure Dragon, further enhancing its magic resistance.]

Of the three pieces of equipment, the Golden Scale Armor and the Omnipotent King Belt can be worn and used directly, which can be said to instantly enhance combat power.

As for the Orlov Battle Axe, although it was hard enough, Chu Xiu still felt that it was not quite suitable for his combat power of 30,000 physique.

"Then, I'll use you to cultivate my 'Myriad Weapons Return to the Source Technique'!"

"add a bit!"

As Chu Xiu's thoughts shifted, the lid of the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Furnace was lifted, and Chu Xiu's body floated up and fell into the furnace. He felt a surge of heat, and his whole body felt like it was on fire.

To fuse equipment, you must use your own body as a magical artifact for refinement!

As the fire dragon of the Eight Desolate Netherfire Array spewed out Netherfire, the temperature inside the furnace increased several times over! Under this intense heat, Chu Xiu felt as if his body was about to melt.

Refining oneself into a magical artifact is an extremely difficult path that almost no demonic cultivator would choose, because the process is too difficult. One must endure the burning pain while using exquisite refining techniques. If one is not careful, the furnace fire will be too high, which will result in the loss of all previous efforts or even complete annihilation!

Only a master craftsman with an extremely strong will has a chance of succeeding.

It's safe to say that almost no one would be foolish enough to embark on this perilous path. If you're after physical strength, why not cultivate innate divine powers? If you want to wield multiple magical treasures simultaneously, the other path is much safer and more suitable!
Even when Chu Xiu was advancing to the Warrior rank and experiencing three different paths in the illusion, he was shown a different path each time.

However, this lineage was still preserved because it produced a top-tier expert of the Demonic Sect who terrified the righteous path. His indestructible body, forged in divine fire, could even shatter the righteous path's natal flying sword with a single punch! This was something even a Primordial Demon God could not do!
Therefore, the wonder of this technique is beyond doubt. Compared with other cultivators, Chu Xiu has a unique advantage, which is his SSS-level talent.

[Perfectly Forged!]
Perfect refinement isn't just for crafting equipment and magical artifacts.

Even Chu Xiu himself could still refine it!
In addition, his foresight in selling his Godhood Sequence and investing heavily in refining the top-grade Four Symbols Yin-Yang Furnace and Eight Desolate Netherfire Array can also provide great assistance, because almost no cultivator at his stage can possess such good refining tools.

Under the combined effect of the two, the Orlov Axe began to merge with Chu Xiu's body in a perfect state, while a large number of causal points were invested, rapidly shortening this process!

Ten thousand causal points, twenty thousand causal points, one hundred thousand causal points!
Finally, when the causal points were depleted to 150,000, the Orlov Axe had completely disappeared and merged into Chu Xiu's right hand!

"boom!"

Chu Xiu reached out and grabbed, instantly feeling a powerful force that did not belong to his own body surge out, allowing him to unleash power far exceeding his usual strength in an instant!

"This is the return of all things to their source."

He could feel that the strength in his right hand had increased by at least five thousand! Far exceeding the attributes added by the Orlov Axe! And it itself had become much harder! It was as if his hand was no longer a hand, but a sturdy legendary piece of equipment!

He now even feels that he can use this right hand to fight against a legendary king-level weapon!
This brought a delighted smile to Chu Xiu's face.

But he was far from satisfied!
With a flick of his wrist, three pieces of equipment appeared in front of him.

【The Dagger of the Wrongfully Dead】, 【The Halberd of the Yaksha】, 【The Head of the Great Serpent God】!
He had already made his plans.

His right hand is the arm that primarily wields his weapon, thus incorporating the powerful Orlov Axe.

His left hand, on the other hand, is for flexible support, so he plans to fuse it with the powerful weapon, the [Dagger of the Unjustly Dead].

As for the legs, they are used to provide the power to drive the whole body, and the equipment dropped by these two Eight Gods is the perfect choice to drive them.

The main problem is that these three pieces of equipment are practically useless if they are not fused together. The two weapons are self-explanatory, but the earth dragon that the Great Serpent God could control has been reduced to a pile of mud, and its main abilities have been largely destroyed.

Of course, the three pieces of equipment are still very powerful on their own, making them perfect for fusion.

Without further hesitation, Chu Xiu had an idea.

Add more!

[193823 Karma Points consumed; Fusion of the Wrongfully Dead Dagger complete!]

[Consuming 275234 Karma Points, the fusion of the Yaksha's Halberd is complete!]

[397823 Karma Points consumed; Fusion of the Great Serpent God's Head complete!]

In less than two days, Chu Xiu had spent nearly 900,000 karma points!

Unfortunately, the further you go, the more difficult the fusion becomes, because you need to adapt to the characteristics of other fusion equipment in order to achieve perfect fusion. This means that even with perfect refinement, Chu Xiu still consumed a lot of karma points.

But Chu Xiu showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he revealed an extremely satisfied smile.

He could feel that the four legendary pieces of equipment had perfectly merged into his limbs, providing him with a continuous source of powerful strength!
Chu Xiu pointed a finger, and instantly the nail of his left index finger turned pitch black. This was because all the poison of the [Dagger of the Unjustly Dead] was compressed into this finger. If it hit, even a powerful Heroic Spirit would suffer a great loss!
Furthermore, the spatial magic of the [Dagger of the Unjustly Dead] can still be activated, meaning that Chu Xiu's left index finger can now travel through space to directly hit the enemy!

This is so much better than just using this equipment directly!
The other two pieces of equipment also provided considerable strength to his legs.

And that's not all!
If the mysteries of the "Return of All Things to the Source" were only this, how could it be considered a top-tier inheritance on par with the "Great Freedom Heavenly Demon God"?
